    I would add the .hack series to this list. A pseudo MMORPG with proceduraly generated dungeons where you get to keep your progress and import your save file across 4 games. Each game came with a DVD to watch an anime that took place in the real world while you play in the MMO world.

      @@Gluemn Vaan and Panelo remind me of the device of having the story told through the lowliest characters, like the 2 peasants in The Hidden Fortress or the droids in Star Wars: A New Hope. (In fact, it was the peasants from Hidden Fortress who inspired R2-D2 and C-3PO.)

    The biggest jump in gaming had to be Super Mario 64, that completely changed the gaming landscape. But it wasn't until the latter half of the PS2's life when that change really started to get perfected and became truly innovative. It's too bad game developers got so concerned with "safe" games with predictable profits.

    The thing people praise FFXI for is NOT that it brought MMOs to consoles...it was the fact it was THE first cross platform MMO ever made, which it is indeed. PSO was only on console. UO and EQ was only on PC...FFXI was on both PC AND console. Add to that FFXI ran a heck of a lot better with its connection and such than PSO ever did.

    Afaik Suikoden 2 for the ps1 did "upgrading the town" earlier than Dark Cloud did, except that it was a castle. Also, Legend of Mana for the PS1 even did the plopping of areas on the world map earlier than DC did. But don't get me wrong, i'm not saying DC or DC2 aren't good games.
    So instead of Dark Cloud, i'm curious if you guys have played the game "Gun" for the PS2. It's a game that was ported/remastered for the PSP under the title "Gun: Survivor" btw. i bring this up because from what i read online, it has set the trend on how some modern day open-world shooters(like RDR) are like nowadays. But, i haven't played either Dark Cloud or Gun, just wondering if maybe Gun deserves to be on the list instead.
    Anyway, good vid. Thanks for recommending some games.

    02:40 REALLY DISLIKE THIS FALSE TAKE ON KOJIMA. People please, the taught proking ideas you see in Kojimas games are not his own. Since Kojima is a very educated person that actually reads books he incorporates ideas from other people/author into his games. That you as a player discover them on a Kojima game doesnt make it an original idea.
    So whats the big deal? Basically that people who believes this PROPHET KOJIMA nonsense, are giving ZERO credit to the minds that actually came up with these things.

    MGS2 was covering ground that was considered conspiracy theories for decades. The fact people think the predicting anything shows just how much people don't play attention or read, ironically proving the point of the game how people can be manipulated by factions vying for power. And it was talking about propaganda, "fake news" simply stands for when someone is calling out a news organization for pushing it.
